Change doesn’t fail because strategies are flawed. It fails because leaders don’t show up in the ways that matter.

For over three decades, Nena Shimp has led transformation programs across industries—from manufacturing and technology to global supply chains. She’s seen every methodology, certification, and “new” type of leader, but the rate of failure remains the same. Change fails because executives delegate change instead of leading it. They sign the check, hire a program lead, and step aside—believing change management is a function, not a responsibility.

No One Can Do Your Push-Ups for You is a call to action for leaders who want to stop outsourcing ownership and start modeling the behaviors they expect from others. Stripping change leadership back to its fundamentals, Shimp combines corporate case studies, sharp insights, and simple daily push-up practices to teach leaders how to implement lasting change across industries.

Shimp’s unique voice—combining Navy-honed discipline, consulting pragmatism, and narrative flair—offers a grounded, no-nonsense road map for leading change effectively.
